KANSAS SIX OTLTURE

The Kansas silk industry is attract
ing unusual attention abroad. Mr..
Horner has received an invitation to be
present at the meeting of the Farmers
congress at Chicago in November and
read paper on that subject, and the
Kansas City Star has the following to
say concerning the display at the Kan
sas City exposition:
Mr.. L. HOrner, superintendent of the
Kansas State Silk station is in the city
with beautiful display for the EXPOSE
ton. This display shows the entire
process of silk culture. One interest
ing feature of the display is silk artifi-
cial flowers made by opening the Co
coons in q peculiar manner. This is an
invention of Mr.. Horner and has never
been discovered by the French silk
workers, or even the Chinese. In
speaking of the silk industry in the
west Mr.. Horner is very enthusiastic.
when three years ago / turned all nv
worldly possessions into mulberry trees
and distributed them free over the

tic" said he, but / amWell salts
fled with the returns OF my investment.
The climate of this country is peculiar
ly adapted to the cultivation of silk,
and the silk that can be produced is
even superior to the imported article.
When tell you that $3.50, OO0, 900 worth
of imported silks is consumed in the
United States each year, you can see
what great industry our people may
develop. This $3.50, 900, 900 worth of
silk, or great part of it, comes in duty
free; for while there is a heavy tariff
on silk goods there is none on silk, and
the result is that silk manufacturers of
the east are protected while the silk
producing industry of the west is stran-
gled. Up to ten months ago there
were no reels in Kansas, but now we
have ten at the silk station Rt Peabody.

CTGAR STUMP9.

Smokers will find something to think
about in the following which we find in
New York paper:
A little old Hebrew, bent and
shrivelled up with age, haunts the Bow
cry and parts of Park Row every day.
He carries a dirty little canvas bag
under his arm, and pokeS around in the
dirt and rubbish with a short crooked
stick. Most of the people who notice
him at all think he is a rag picker, but
he isn't. If you were to stop and watch
his operations you will see him leave
rags and paper alone, and carefully
pick out OF every corner and pile of
rubbish every scrap of tobacco he can
lind. All the old cigars and cigarette
stumps he runs across are carefully
treasured up and thrust into a canvas
bag.
The old man lives in a miserable
room in back street near the BoWery.
The writer followed him I'D into his
quarters the other day, and saw sight
not particularly appetizing to smokers.
The room was filled with an intolerable
| odor of half-burned tobacco. Cigar
| stubs were piled up in heaps in the cor
ner. Strips of dirty tobacco were dry
ing over a hot fire. A dirty boy was
sorting the ''snipes'' into four piles.
What doyOu do with all that stuff?''
asked the reporter.
"Oh, sell it to the dealers to work
back into cigars and cigarettes. The
boy there sorts out the stubs according
to their looks. Some will be made
into good cigars that will sell for ten
cents. The next pile there will go into
five-cent cigars. The third pile will
only do for the filling of cigarettes,
and the last pile will make cheap
smoking tobacco. We cut off all the
| Nf fsim
fully. Then we unroll the stub and
put the leaves over the stove TO dry.
Then we clean the dried leaves of
again and Turkish them up as much as
possible. OF course you can't get all
the burnt smell out of the leaves, but
this stuff only goes for filters and such
things, and after the cigar makers
have favored and perfumed it, nobody
can tell the difference. Very likely we
may have worked over the same stuff
two or three times. That's a queer
thought, isn't it?''
Are there many in your kind OF
business in New York?'' asked the re-
porter.
MANY? Well there's too many tc
leave any great profit for any of us
We clean the streets of everything il
the shape of tobacco between us all. A
few years ago there was money in it
l was the only man in the business
then. 1t VIII never be like that again
Of course it isn't a very nice business
but got used to the smell long ago
and it isn't so bad as you think it is
after all. If it wasn't for us where
would you get your real genuine inn
ported Havana cigars for ten centsi
The most common use for the stuff
though, is in the all-tobacco cigarettes
Besides selling to the dealers, make &
kind of smoking tobacco myself out Of
some of the leavings. Sailors buy it
They like it because it is strong. The
license have to pay, though, knocks
all the prefit out of it. The tobacco
isn't so bad as you think it is. Wont
you try pipe full?''

Give Thea a Chance !

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,

ought to be got rid of. There is just

q BIZ Haul.

For the past twenty-four hours the
patrol wagon has been flying to all |
parts of the city and returning loaded |
with barrels, bottles. casks and demi- |
Johns filed with all kinds of intoxi- |
eating liquor. More than twenty ar
rests have already been made, and |
warrants are out for more. From all |
quarters a steady stream of whisky, |
beer and malefactors flows toward the
city prison. The following are the ar
rests made up to noon: j. e. Mar

III. Davis, Solomon Sawyer, j. Miller,
G. j. Baker. From the places run by
these parties an immense quantity or
liquor was taken. In the basement OF
the city prison, 20 by 10 feet, are piled
barrels of whisky, scores of dem1johns,
dozens of cases of beer, hundreds OF
bottles of whisky, wine, beer. apple,
| crab-apple and peach cider, lemon rye,
new era beer, and other Intoxicating
compounds unknown to the general pub
lie. The largest quantity of liquor was
taken from Carl Jockheck's central bill
lard hall. Several officers went
through the place and brought away a
large quantity of cider, but found no
whisky. Officer BlaZo returned to the
place, and was rewarded for his per
sistency by finding concealed under a
counter near the window, a hundred or
more quart bottles filed with whisky.
He was offered by the German in
charge $50 if he would leave it there
and say nothing about. BlaZO Informed
him that he was not that kind of man

ties.
